Apple is set to launch an online order service with sales of screen, battery and camera parts for the iPhones 12 and 13

Apple has announced a self-service repair programme so customers can fix their own devices

When the program launches in early 2022, it will cover replacing the batteries, screens and cameras of recent iPhones.

Apple’s new repair store will sell more than 200 parts and tools.

It comes after months of increasing pressure on Apple from the grassroots right-to-repair movement which wants individuals and independent repair shops to be able to fix electronics.

The program will launch in the United States first

Starting in the US in early 2022 and then the UK and other countries, a new online repair store will offer more than 200 individual parts and tools for repairing the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 handsets.

The service will start by offering parts for the screen, battery and camera, the bits of an iPhone most commonly brought in for fixes.

“Creating greater access to Apple genuine parts gives our customers even more choice if a repair is needed,” said Jeff Williams, Apple’s chief operating officer.

Although the accompanying press release was illustrated with people fixing a phone at their kitchen table and work desk, Apple stated that the service would not be for customers that just want to “have a go” but instead for “individual technicians with the knowledge and experience to repair electronic devices”.

Nvidia’s £68.1 billion revenue, up 73%, raises investor concerns about AI’s impact and tech customers’ financial health.

Nvidia posted strong quarterly earnings, but Wall Street remained unimpressed, causing shares to fall 5%. Analysts point to investor concerns over AI dominance and a stalled $100 billion deal with OpenAI.

Experts discuss what factors in the earnings report failed to meet market expectations, including revenue projections and details around the Vera Rubin chip architecture. Competition from alternative chipmakers and scrutiny of hyperscaler cash flows are also shaping investor sentiment.

Despite recent setbacks, analysts remain cautiously bullish on Nvidia, highlighting long-term AI potential and the company’s dominant position in the chip market.

While no criminal charges have been laid, Meta says it is doubling down on efforts to protect users and restore trust across its platforms as scam activity continues to rise globally.
